Interview was March 1977 sid is friendly and warm here saying nothing makes me angry he was nice and pleasant here more articulate with a sense of humour they all seem happy and more being themselves
My friend got me into the Sex Pistols back in the mid 80's. Even to this very day there is something about those guys completely outside of music that is very real and likeable. They are like regular hard working regular people like us in the public, only they were able to make this great hard rock music.
@The mysterious Miss X This is true sex pistols didnt make any great music. I like their music but i have literally hundreds of better rock albums. I think it was their image that shocked the world back then.
He looks like he's coming down off whizz and camera shy duu to lack of alcohol Speed or most likely smack.by then he was a full on smackhead. He would never have been able to make the Australian tour.
Let's keep in mind that Paul Cook was actually a very decent drummer. Good time keeper and knows when to switch between h-hat and ride cymbal; his drumming on the well known songs is impeccable. I know it may be off topic but I'm slightly tipsy and at this very moment I feel the urge to put a spotlight on him. It's always Rotten and Vicious.
No . Judging by Lydons fondness for Trump and nigel Farage I'd say he's the one who turned into a bloated beer stained right wing reactionary with a shit haircut not Steve.
@@neilmccormick2064 Yes. was thinking in terms of how he looks in this clip - not his political persuasions..... Bit sensitive on the left it seems - you must have had your obligatory humour bypass.
@@neilmccormick2064 maybe he's an extreme version of the old cliche "if you're not a socialist in your 20's you have no heart, if you're not a conservative in your 40's you have no brain". He grew up.
@@iloveanimals6361 He used to be known as 'boring' Molly Meldrum! I first came across him when he interviewed a pre-famous Madonna! There was an instant likability about him. Not sure what he's doing now.
Iggy and the Stooges invented Punk in 1973 with Search and Destroy. That is the first Punk song! Only they didn’t call it Punk back then. It was wild, noisy, out of control Rock N Roll!
John is just thinking I've got to get away from this McLaren controlled nonsense. They had already made 1 of the greatest albums in Never Mind The Bollocks that influenced many other people to start bands.
They were never about musicianship, they were about attitude which Sid had in bucket loads, hence he became iconic, understand this and you understand punk.
Interviewers were horrible back then. Either rude or boring, and so unappreciative to bands that are giving them the interview and help them pay their bills.
Yeah Jonesy always looked like a Heavy Metal Riffraxer with that Permer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was before Mohawks kids *WHICH ACTUALLY WAS INVENTED* by a Heavy Metallic *SHOCK ROCK* Band *NOT PUNKS* (but punks loved em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) PLASMATICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and disgruntled kicked to the kerb by Government and Hippies Vietnam Vets taking jobs as Cabbie Drivers in Brooklyn as well as Charged GBH and Wattie from The Exploited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mac the slowvac Aside for Sid's inevitable demise, the rest of the band did OK for themselves. And you're right - they were kids here and clearly a little overwhelmed by all the attention they were getting. Their lack of polish quite refreshing.
This interview proves that when they are not being interrogated by idiots who have their minds made up before the interview that they were an easygoing bunch.
Yeah he looks old for his age here, pretty much like Abbot, who was only in his late thirties when he made that cheesy song.. and he looked 55-60 already !!
coloca uma gravata, uma jaqueta de couro com pregos em uns playboy e faz uma banda, mesma fórmula do New kids on the blocs e do Backstreetboys hahahaha Enganou muita gente e engana até hoje! hahahah
@HHR right, pompous middle class lefty world war 2 veterans who got their limbs blown off in the war being lectured by a spoiled ,rebel without a cause, little millionaire,, rolling his eyes like a schoolgirl and whining bout how "wowking 9 to 5 is hawd wheeeeee wheeeeee".
@HHR lol well arent you just the edgier little thing? so angsty. i get it, mom and dad are on your case cause you didnt take out the trash and you want to "rebel" against "the man"."oh...notthen, said a rude word *ROLLS EYES* with coy sassy look on his face like a teenage girl".did you just learn the word "middle class" and now youre trying to work it into every conversation? heres a few more for your vocabulary of cliches. bolshevik, bourgeoise, socio-economic disparity, proletariat. use the well (and careful not to cut yourself on all of that "edge")...lol, buffoon
Not big into sex pistols or too much punk so I dont know too much about it, so can someone explain to me why the middle one has a swastika on his shirt???
Sid in the band was the end of the band, I get that Malcolm was into the image over the music ..... but Sid was a disaster and Malcolm should have seen that
lame that they use nazi symbols, nothing less punk rock than wearing the insignia of a regime that would target anyone who didn't fit their narrow view of who a person should be. A regimen that preached the uniformity that punks supposedly rebel against. Thank god, smarter bands like The Clash came along that would turn rebellion into something with meaning.
It was fine. The power isn't in symbols. Swastika was actually a sacred Indian religious symbol before the Nazis appropriated it. No punks were Nazis. That's the most important thing
Boris, Babic Just young working class kids overwhelmed by the fuss they'd generated and equally overwhelmed by all the attention garnered as a result. And there is no doubt most of them on substances of sorts in this interview. And it's *these, not "theese."
@HHR The point it is upsetting everyone with a brain? OK, good job then. I understand back then they wanted to be edgy so bad they would wear shit like this, but that does not justify it. Swastikas represent pain, sence a little racist cunt with a moustache used them. And to be honest with you, if a real nazi in the 70s saw the pistols he will beat the shit out of them for looking "gay" or whatever so it is quite ironic to wear something that represent a group of people that would totally hate your guts.
For a band that seem to be angry with the establishment etc, they really don't say much when they have a chance to speak. That was the big difference between them and The Clash. The sex pistols were just vulgar and angry, but the Clash had something to say and could write better songs.
Debbie Bee Strummer was educated and thoughtful (and nothing wrong with that!) yet The Pistols were poorly educated, working class toerags with a devil may care don't give a crap about anything attitude. They were also quite likable (especially Cook and Jones), so all this combined resonated with a lot of people. And Lydon - who was freakishly quiet in this clip - was/is far from stupid. Clash and The Pistols two very different bands who were both great in their heyday.
With Johnny Thunders or knife welding Drug Dealers who'll want to frame Sidney Ferocious for her murder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know its a good interview when Johnny is quiet af, Sid is smiling, Paul is talking, and Steve is soft-spoken.
gawd this fucking anime shit
styled like our dads
🌈
Honestly its a more fun interview if all of them are bloaking and Johnny is ranting
It was a “meh” interview
snarling Johnny > giggling Johnny
For once, Paul gets (or has) to be the lead guy. They probably smoked some right before
1:47 "Nothing makes me angry" Johnny found that funny 🤣🤣🤣
The only interview ever where Johnny isn’t pissed off
Happiest sex pistols interview Ive ever seen
I've never seen Rotten keep his gob shut for so long!
That’s the first thing I thought when I watched that 👍🏻
He looks tired and/or messed up
Most of them have apparently been on the token
Yeah? They look lost because john didnt speak for them
Perhaps he was stoned on hippie grass
It shows how fragile the British establishment was that they actually felt threatened by a bunch of goofy kids just messing around.
Compresi i finti reali inglesi pedine dei rothshild.. irritati da 4 ragazzotti
😂😂🚀🚀🚀🚀🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🐽🐀
As a British person I couldn't agree more
Its actually funny when you really think about it. 4 dull goofy kids literally jeopardized and shook a whole damn country.
The British establishment was proven right. Shows how little you know.
@@sageantone7291 In what way were they right? Pretty much nothing has changed.
"Nothing makes me angry" - Sid.
yeah unless you didnt took his dope away
Too off his nads for murder😅😅
Nancy would say would ya wake up sid ya want a cuppa cawfee
Interview was March 1977 sid is friendly and warm here saying nothing makes me angry he was nice and pleasant here more articulate with a sense of humour they all seem happy and more being themselves
nice to see the guys having genuine fun with a reporter for a change lol
Johnny isn't hogging the spotlight. Amazing!
Johnny Rotten’s scoff at the end and the zooming in on his face lol

They control the Stones but they can't control us
Sid burps.
🤣
😂😂
My mum and dad were punks they were a part of this generation and it makes me immensely proud lol
Jones is itching and swatting at things that aren't there.
He’s on some weird shit lol

Por trás de uma grande banda sempre existirá um grande empresário. Viva Malcolm McLaren e Vivienne Eastwood! 👏👏👏
Amazing 😊
Feckin legends simple as ❤you carried on you would of been bigger than any knobs god bless the greatest band ever
God save the sex pistols icons of the day but we need this now snowflake era we need control back

They're all baked! 😉
Sid: "nothing makes me angry"
Heroin: thank me for that, forget about your and Nancy's death
RIP both of them
Screw 'em.
“See ya over there Bruce.”
Iggy and the Stooges invented Punk in 1973 with Search and Destroy. That is the first Punk song!
Only they didn’t call it Punk back then.
It was wild, noisy, out of control Rock N Roll!
When the Pistols first started they didn’t call it punk either, they just thought they were a rock band, the media created the scene.
@@punkoid76 Yep.
🥱Yawn
Sid looks so shy.
they are like a bunch of little kids in this ha ha
paul cook 20 january 1957
The pistols best band ever❤
Jonesy with his Harpo hairstyle
Pmsl at the end bit
jones looks like he should be doing disco moves
Judging by what the guy doing the interview is asking of them.....im guessing this was recoded just after they were sacked from A+M records
The lads,did see them post Sid in Australia
steve jones 3 march 1956
John is just thinking I've got to get away from this McLaren controlled nonsense.
They had already made 1 of the greatest albums in Never Mind The Bollocks that influenced many other people to start bands.
I wonder what Rotten was laughing at?
on acid
@@marguskiis7711 He loved his speed, not sure he was big on acid.
@@katoness I think he did sometimes.
@@marguskiis7711 Acid was regarded as a hippie drug so I highly doubt they were into psychedelics at this point.
@@neilsun2521 all drugs were hippie. Especially hash. But punks didn`t avoid them.
Have you seen this Joe Strummer interview where he explains where the word Punk comes from ? Or everyone knows it yet ? 😁

..punX in west berlin....1977...wallcity
Sex Pistols was a great band...Sid was also okay guy, but it did not do good to band's playing, cause Sid could not play bass properly...
They were never about musicianship, they were about attitude which Sid had in bucket loads, hence he became iconic, understand this and you understand punk.
Sid could play live
the songwriting suffered tremendously, even though they got a good looking guy in the band
too good for that shithole pop seventies 77 music
just typical sid!!! do u get egg and chips over there!!??
Next wave that!!!

Read the biographies by Lydon, Jones and Matlock...they had plenty to say.
